Chapter 9: The Caucus
Ling Yu and Li Peng were still immersed in a state of cultivation, and they also knew that in this last world, they had to become stronger first before they could survive.
The three of them had been practicing for the same night, and none of them had bothered each other.
June 13, 3069
It's the third day after the end of the world, and the roars of zombies and humans in the city are mixed together. Someone dies every moment, and someone turns from a living human being to a zombie.
There are also people who have discovered the subtle changes that have taken place in their bodies after the blood rain, and seek a way to become stronger, hoping that they can survive in this last world.
"Ling Tian, you woke up so early" Li Peng woke up from his cultivation and said when he saw Ling Tian standing in front of the window
"Hmm"
"So where are we going today, are we going to your house?"
"yes, didn't you say yes?"
Li Peng lowered his head, always feeling that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it
"Fat Bird, is there something wrong with you" Ling Tian immediately sensed that something was wrong with Li Peng
"Uh..... That..."Li Peng was hesitant, and he couldn't explain it clearly for a long time
"Don't think so much, just say anything, you are my best brother" Ling Tian patted Li Peng on the shoulder and said
"Then I want to go find my parents, but it's too dangerous outside, I don't want to bother you"
"If there is anything that is not involved, I will accompany you"
"Really"
Li Peng looked at Ling Tian with some surprise, after all, it was not an ordinary danger outside now, and he could die at any time, but he would definitely die if he went by himself
"Really, hurry up and pack up, let's go" After saying that, Ling Tian went downstairs and prepared to eat
At this time, Ling Yu also woke up, patted Li Peng's shoulder and said, "Hurry up and wipe away your tears."
"Huh?" Li Peng was moved to tears by Ling Tian, and Ling Yu couldn't stand it anymore, he was a man
After the three of them finished breakfast, they set out the route and prepared to set off.
Just as he was about to leave, Ling Tian saw the baseball bat in Li Peng's hand, and immediately said, "You won't just take this thing."
"yes, what's the problem?"
"What do you say, are you planning to knock the zombies unconscious," Ling Tian said and gave Li Peng the fire axe he was holding
"You use this"
"You give this to me, what are you using?"
"I'll use this," Ling Tian pulled out a sharpened iron rod and a few steel balls from behind him
Ling Tian's awakening ability is relatively special, he can give thunder and lightning to objects, Ling Tian in his previous life used these small steel balls, but he couldn't have zombies die in his hands.
The three of them grabbed their weapons and set off.
Although there are relatively few people on Qianlong Mountain, Ling Tian still asked Ling Yu and Li Peng to be careful, because sometimes it is not necessarily people who come out of this mountain, and some animals have also mutated under the effect of the zombie virus, and finally there are demon beasts that have given birth to spiritual intelligence.
Just when Ling Tian and the others were about to walk out of the gate of the villa area, a strange and extremely ferocious strange bird suddenly flew over from the sky, hissing and rushing towards Ling Tian and the three of them, but fortunately, Ling Tian reacted quickly, the steel ball in his hand was instantly covered with thunder and lightning, and the strange bird that wanted to fly shot over.
To say that this Ling Tian has not lived in vain for hundreds of years, he will be hit with one blow. The strange bird's entire body was pierced and fell to the ground, but it didn't stop there, it was still moving, its big mouth full of fangs was open, moving in the direction of Ling Tian.
Ling Tian didn't relent, the iron rod stabbed straight at the head of the strange bird, and finally the strange bird didn't move.
"Ling Tian, what is this?" asked Li Peng, who had recovered from the shock just now
"This is a dead bird, and it was also infected by the zombie virus"
Ling Tian pulled out the iron rod and said, "Let's keep walking, be careful." ”
Ling Yu and Li Peng moved their gaze back from the mourning bird and continued to follow Ling Tian on their way.
The Yuntian Building, where Li Peng's parents are located, is located in the center of the city, and Ling Tian does not know whether Li Peng's parents are still alive, but the city center is also a place where people gather, and the dangers along the way will not be less than from Ling Tian's house to Li Peng.
Ling Tian and the three of them were very careful along the way, trying to avoid fighting zombies, and even if they did, they would quickly resolve the battle, and Ling Yu and Li Peng seemed to be slowly becoming more familiar with their own strength.
Ling Yu can now temporarily affect the zombie movement, but he can't completely control it yet, and it is estimated that after taking the corpse core, he will be more handy in using it.
Li Peng's fire axe is also getting better and better, because of the awakening of the Xuanyuan stone arm, Li Peng's strength is several steps higher than these ordinary zombies, and the main thing is to overcome the fear in his heart.
As they got closer and closer to the Sky Tower, there were gradually more zombies around.
Just as he was about to arrive at the Sky Tower, Li Peng found a zombie in a convenience store next to him, gnawing on the head of another zombie, and there were several zombie corpses lying next to him, all of which had been gnawed off their heads.
Li Peng looked at the zombie in horror while gently tugging at the corner of Ling Tian's clothes, motioning for him to look at the convenience store.
"Mutant zombies! I didn't expect mutated zombies to appear so soon."
"Ling Tian, do you know this kind of thing?"
"This is a mutated zombie, a mutated zombie is a zombie that humans become after being bitten by ordinary zombies, this kind of zombie will take the initiative to attack other zombies, strengthen itself by constantly eating the same kind, and finally will slowly form a corpse core and continue to advance into a more advanced zombie"
"But fortunately, it's only a first-order corpse soldier, and if it's a higher order, it's troublesome" Then Ling Tianyou turned his head to look at Li Peng, and said very seriously, "I need your help"
"What do you want me to do?" Li Peng suddenly had a bad feeling, and then said
"You go and lure him out, I'm hiding behind the convenience store, I'm going to kill him, get something"
"Huh? I don't, why don't you go and draw it out," Li Peng shouted
"I don't have enough strength right now, so I'm not his opponent, but with your Xuanyuan Stone Arm, plus Xiao Yu slightly affecting his movements at a critical moment, I should be able to succeed."
"Then I won't go, Xiao Yu won't agree, it's too dangerous"
"Brother, go ahead, I'll help you," Ling Yu said calmly
"Xiao Yu, are you crazy too, don't follow your brother to fool around, you will die"
"No, I believe in my brother, you can go brother" can also believe in this brother
As soon as Ling Yu finished saying this, before Li Peng could agree, Ling Tiantian set off, his steps were very light, like a thief, he sneaked to the alley next to the door of the convenience store and hid, signaling that Li Peng could start.
After Ling Tian signaled, he threw a fat man into the convenience store, and the mutated zombie also noticed it for the first time, and Li Peng, who was standing outside, immediately bit like Li Peng.
Li Peng now had 10,000 grass and mud horses running over in his heart, and there was no way to do it, as long as he was stubborn.
Just when the zombie was about to pounce on Li Peng, Ling Yu used his ability to affect the mutated zombie for a second, and then he couldn't hold on, Li Peng used a fire axe to resist the blood-covered mouth, but Li Peng didn't feel a particularly big pressure, but the fear in his heart made him dare not fight him.
Ling Tian suddenly appeared from behind the zombie, and the iron rod was covered with a sizzling blue thunder arc, stabbing at the back of the mutated zombie's head, piercing the zombie's head with one blow, and the other end piercing out of his nostrils, just missing Li Peng's fire axe.
Green blood spurted out of the zombie's mouth in an instant, and then fell to the ground.
Li Peng was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and Ling Yu's face was extremely pale because of the backlash just now.
Ling Tian pulled out the iron rod and used the dagger to pick at the back of the mutated zombie's head, as if he was looking for something. When Li Peng saw this scene, he couldn't help it at all, he didn't expect Ling Tian to have this hobby, he hid next to him and vomited silently.
"Found it," Ling Tian said in surprise as he took out a white crystal-like thing from the zombie's brain
"What is this, brother," Ling Yu asked curiously
"Remember when I told you about the nucleus that can increase your abilities?"
"Is this the nucleus, it looks so beautiful"
"This is just a first-order corpse core, I'll give you this first, your face is so ugly, you must have been injured just now"
"No, brother, let's give this to you first, you can protect us when you are strong."
"Okay, then let's go find a place first, I'll refine this corpse core first, and then we'll set off"
"Well, okay"
"Fat bird, let's go, don't throw up, be careful when zombies come"
Hearing this, Li Peng felt that he ran over, for fear that such a zombie would appear again.
Ling Tian found a small building that looked a little dilapidated, and came to a room on the second floor in three days. Such a dilapidated small building, still in the center of the city, is estimated to be a nail household, so there will be no one.
After Ling Tian and the three of them arrived in the room, they directly swallowed the corpse core, and when Li Peng saw this scene, the feeling of nausea suddenly came again.
After Ling Tian screamed, he slowly stood up, although his appearance did not change, his entire temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes, and then his body was slowly covered with purple thunder and lightning. I vaguely felt that this thunder and lightning were stronger than the previous blue lightning.
"Brother, have you succeeded" Ling Yu looked at Ling Tian with some surprise and envy
"Well, now I should be able to deal with that zombie by myself."
"That's amazing!" Ling Yu and Li Peng both cast envious glances at the same time.
"Let's go"
"Hmm...."
The three of them walked out of the small building and continued to walk in the direction of the Sky Building....
